By laying the yarns across the needles you want to knit in that color. Picture knitting is fun and very creative. Give your creative side a new dimension by adding the intarsia carriage to your knitting system.

Plastic tubing grips most sizes of hand knitting needles and allows you to slide live stitches off needles without risk of dropping and running. While knitting is in progress, you can check garment fit by spreading stitches across the tubing. Tubing may also be used as a stitch holder. When ready to knit again, stitches slide easily back onto the knitting needles. Tubing works with straight, circular, or double-pointed needles. Available in 2-yard lengths in two sizes: American-sized needles 2 to 8 or 8 to 13. (Tubing for Size 8 to 13 needles is back in stock!)

The Slanted Rib Jacket hand and machine knitting patterns are now both available for sale.

This dress-up or dress-down au current jacket is bordered by a ribbed shawl collar that drapes diagonally with the attached ribbed bottom. It looks complicated, but all of the shaping is done in stockinette. The instructions include four women’s sizes.

Purchase either pattern for $7.00, and you will receive an email with the PDF pattern attached.
